Guilds Question

[berdyne]

I have not seen anything about this yet and i've been trying to figure it out for a couple of days how do you join the culinary guild or the alchemist guild so you can learn new stuff?

[Asyria]

You don't join them.. you.. err... do quests for them.. I think.. and you earn guild Marks.. with which you buy stuff exclusive to their guild.

Sorry, I don't really know the details, as I haven't seen any of those guild quests or guild marks so far. o_O

It's all still very mysterious to me.

[Zyrusticae]

Yeah, I dnno what the story NPCs are always going on about with joining this or that guild or whatever. There's simply no way to actually do that, leaving one scratching their head in confusion.

 

I imagine it's something that'll be in in the proper release, or something.

 

As for guild marks, you start gaining those from guildleves in the rank 20+ range.

[berdyne]

Interesting how do you get your skill up if you cannot buy recipies and the like. Heck has anyone who's going to Limsa Lominsa tell me where any quests are other than the starter quest, or someone who sells armor?

[Asyria]

Quests

There's the Storyline quests, which you have every 10 levels.

There's Guildleves which you can do 8 of every 48 hours. When done, you go exchange then, and you are able to exchange up to 4 that you've done for a single new one with improved reward. All guildleves are interchangeable like that. You can switch from battle leves to field leves, and the crafting leves are another story, as those are Local Guildleves, while the other types are Regional Guildleves.

Guildleves are always found at the Inn, it seems.

 

Crafting

The Beta sites has some basic recipes listed in the Player Guide.

Other than that, the players are expected to find out by themselves by trial and error what works and what doesn't, making crafting significantly harder but also significantly more rewarding (being the first crafter to figure out how to create The Mighty Sword of Pwning would be awesome, I suspect).

 

Some Crafting Databases are linked here: http://www.ffxiv-roleplayers.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=1085

 

Armor Shops

I don't remember any from Closed Beta, they might have added some in Open but I only been in Ul'dah so far in Open and I gave the appropriate information in this thread: http://www.ffxiv-roleplayers.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=1339

Other than that, try the Market Wards.

You have to wait for the 48 hr timer to run out before it will let you trade them in right?

Well kind of, it takes 48 hours before you can Exchange the leves you have finished(or failed) to get new ones.

Physical or job level? And when you get to that level are they started automatically or do you have to go see an NPC?

Job, got the next one when i got to level 10 conjurer and you get it from the innkeeper you first meet in the diffrent cities, past 20 i'm not sure.

[Gerick]

So you can do 8 guildleves every 48 hours? what do you do for xp after that? I just finished the first four noob guildleves and kinda felt lost after that.

That's where the grind starts.

:frustrated:

[Tadir]

Fish.

[Gerick]

That seems like a horrible lack of content if you can essentially only do 8 quests every 2 days. Tht really hurts my opinion of the game.

[Tadir]

Remember, this is beta. From what I've heard most of the quests have not been activated. There are the starter quests to do if you haven't. The Treasures of the Main and equivalent quest lines.

[Skye]

I'm still hoping on more side-story quests myself, you had -alot- of them in FFXI.

[Asyria]

You can do 8 guildleves... you can still grind a bit, gather, craft, RP.... if you can do all of that during the hours you dedicated to the game within 48 hours, you either dedicated a LOT of time to the game or do those really really fast.

Or maybe you have no interest in crafting or gathering, in which case, yes, it kinda sucks.

[Tadir]

There are almost no quests in the game yet. We have been told there ARE lots of quests. I assume when we get into release there will be a lot more content. As it stands right now? yes, a little lacking. Such is beta.

[Rreeth]

From what I have seen, the 8 per 48 rule only applies to regional levequests. You can still do the local levequests to work on crafting and also earn additional exp and rewards.

Yes that is correct Regional and Local Leves are two diffrent groups,

 

so when you have done all the Local leves (Crafting) you need to wait 48 hours before you can get new

so when you have done all the the Regional Leves (Fighting and Gathering) you need to wait 48 hours before you can get new

[Tagyr]

The quests seem to be there, NPCs asking for items that they lost, parts of monsters, crafting/gathering materials. Stuff like that. Hopefully they will go active at release.
